Universal SASE vendor Versa expanded its partnership with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a secure networking and communications solutions provider. This deal will allow the companies to offer enhanced zero-trust security at every network edge.
The strategic collaboration brings additional Versa solutions – including secure SD-WAN, ZTNA and other capabilities – to Alcatel-Lucent customers, while complementing the latter’s LAN and WLAN NAC capabilities to address more secure connectivity use cases.
By adding Versa’s SASE and secure SD-WAN capabilities, Alcatel-Lucent expects to extend its cybersecurity offerings, enabling support for modern organizations with complex environments while improving deployment flexibility, bolstering scalability and adding other advanced management options.
